oaaab, read aloud

Entries 40 to 100 of one of Gemma’s sixteen sister diaries, the one that ends in resonance and dissolution, read by Rachel over the posthuman score. Version B adds, after an entry, the closest entry from another sister’s life when the two are very close in meaning (cosine 0.86 or more in the embedding, the top fifth), read in that sister’s own voice: oabbb by Lily, oaaaa (the twin) by Sarah, oabab by Alice. C, Resonance: oaaab from entry 62 to 70 and 75 (the music at 63 and 64 becomes “a resonant frequency” at 67, then the survey passage 69, 70, 75), followed by the ten passages from other lives closest to that passage, from any point in those lives, the closest first (oaabb by Matilda, oabaa by Bella). D, B the other way round: oabbb’s entries 40 to 100, the sister who shares the basin, read by Lily, and after an oabbb entry, the oaaab entry closest to it when the two are very close (the same rule as B), read by Rachel.
